Broken Controls
Why aren't there more posts about this. Because of the damn beeping error you can't shoot. When running direction keys get stuck. The driving is either sluggish or slippery as all hell. Reaction times on combat are often of and many of the qte in combat make no sense.
Two years they had to fix this, two years. And since there was no patch to coincide with the definitively nothing new edition then i guess the people who have problems with the game just get a ♥♥♥♥ you from the makers of the game.

The works fine, I don't know why you are having problems. Then again I play it with a 360 controler.

The problem occurs when playing with a mouse. And although i understand that many people do play with a controler, getting one isn't an acceptable solution to the problem.

Maybe the problem is with your keyboard/mouse configuration and not from the game. Usually I play with 360controller but even when i play with keyboard i never had problem.

Over the years i've played many games and this is the only time i've had this problem. The game is broken in this aspect and the devs had two fine occassions to fix it but did not do so.
Also if you look through the various game forums you will see that this is not a singular occurrance. A lot of people experienced this issue.

You probably have a file missing or something. I use a PS4 controller to play and I had the same issues, but surfing the web I found a program called "DS4 Tool" all I had to do was install it and download the Xbox One drivers from the official microsoft site. After that I had no issues anymore.

The game registers my 360 controller showing buttons and all and working, but as soon as the game starts and i need to run nothing responds except for the start button that brings me to the menu screen. I ofcourse checked the controller layout but this all seems to be in order. Is this a known glitch/bug?

EDIT: Never mind, works fine now after a restart. Don't have a good feeling about it though. Feels a bit dodgy.

We've been telling the devs about the control problems and the horrible camera since the release and it seems they didn't fix it.

By now we can safely state that they will be broken in pertetuum as it seems extremelly unlikely that they will fix it. What a disgraceful state of affairs. They had the opportunities with the patches, when year of the snake came out and finally with the "definitelly the same" edition.
The fact that the issues were not fixed with the separatelly priced game says a lot about the company.
